Rahul Gandhi, Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, stated on Wednesday that the opposition INDIA bloc has psychologically defeated Prime Minister Narendra Modi, claiming that he has lost confidence. Speaking at a public rally in Jammu and Kashmir's Ramban district, the Congress leader remarked that Prime Minister Modi had said his party could not be defeated and that he had a direct connection with God.
“Prime Minister Modi openly said he is non-biological, while the rest of India is biological. But in this election, God has given him a direct message, saying he speaks to the public and acts according to their wishes,” said Rahul Gandhi.
Prime Minister Modi had earlier announced that there would be no caste census in the country, but the opposition remained firm in its demand, and now even RSS members are backing it, Gandhi claimed.
“I sit in front of him in Parliament and his confidence is gone. The INDIA bloc stood together and fought unitedly. PM Modi wanted to bring people in through lateral entry, but it was opposed, and then the BJP changed its stance,” the Congress leader added.
He claimed Narendra Modi is afraid of the people in the country and that there is only a little time left for Narendra Modi and the BJP before they are removed from power.
“We want brotherhood in the country, where everyone is respected and people speak to each other with dignity. Vulnerable groups, whether they are farmers, laborers, or small business owners, should feel they have a stake in this country. We want it to happen in Jammu and Kashmir as well,” said Gandhi.
Earlier, the Lok Sabha MP took a jibe at the Centre, stating that for the first time in Indian history, the rights of people in Jammu and Kashmir have been taken away by downgrading it from a state to a Union Territory.
Regarding the J&K polls, they will be held on September 18, 25, and October 1. Haryana will vote on October 1. The counting of votes for both states will be held on October 8.
In the 2014 assembly election, the People's Democratic Party (PDP) led by Mufti Mohammed Sayeed had clinched 28 seats while the BJP had won 25 seats. The then-ruling National Conference (NC) had secured 15 seats while the Congress got 12 seats. The PDP and BJP had formed the government under Sayeed in 2015. However, the government collapsed after the BJP withdrew its support in 2018, following Sayeed's death with his daughter, Mehbooba Mufti, becoming CM.
